good book?

Currently I'm taking an introductory course in c++. This will be my second I/O language if you count javascript. In school I'm using "Absolute C++" by Walter Savitch, and it is trully excelent.

I was wondering if any of you could recommend another book, that you think is really good. I'm not looking just for a school text book, but something that walks you through examples, such as simple text games or useful programs.
